It's a common misunderstanding about branches.
Check this out: http://nginx.com/blog/nginx-1-6-1-7-released/

In most cases the only care you need with the mainline branch is to read the
changelog before update.

Also you can consider to buy nginx plus license to get the official support
and thus feel yourself more confident.
